Day 4: Today's been an emotional day, but I imagine that is over due. Feeling more fragile and I am super ready for the drains to be gone. I absolutely detest them and have nothing nice to say about drains (long tubes inserted into the breast envelop where the breast used to reside. These tubes come out of the skin on the side of your breast and on the end of the tube sits a bulb that collects all the drainage from inside the breast. Every few hours the bulbs must be emptied into a cup to measure the output. I currently have two drains, one on each side). It also seems I underestimated with my super optimistic personality how much recovery was in my future. I can't imagine how women with breast cancer do it all at the same time. Chemo + surgery. I'm working to be grateful for the one and not having to deal with the other. This is just one big ball of not so much fun.
Missing my sister and mom and all the humor they brought to the house. So grateful they were here the past few days. Day #4 of Trading in the Tatas. Short sweet and to the point, it's all I can muster today.
